I believe the issue with using lasers on borgs stems largely from the fact that I'm pretty sure lasers always target the chest, regardless of what you have selected. The chest, of course, is the toughest part of the borg. Borgs die very quickly if you stun them and give them a few whacks in the head with something like a cyalume saber or red chainsaw. Of course, if you don't have access to those, the old standby of the extinguisher is a decent substitute so long as you have the power to stun it more than once. I know borgs can take burn damage (or so their repair menu claims) but I'm pretty sure they get a massive resistance to it.
On another note, I noticed that rods seem to do a lot of damage...sometimes. A borg was able to sap my health pretty fast with one, but they weren't really that efficient when I tried them out as a borg. They also seem to have no chance of causing any effect (knockdown, etc.).
My main question is: does Hulk actually add any brute damage to your attacks? Empowered wizards are supposed to be pretty nasty if hiding in a wall with thermals, but I've used Empower and I didn't notice a significant increase in my ability to kill people with my bare hands. Naturally, TK works better with a bludgeoning weapon (though how I'm able to telekinetically hit you with an extinguisher that never leaves my hands is beyond me.)
